policy of the pi u tee will be to divide us
and separate us from our allies. The
statement that Senator Allen "agrees
that further alliance with the democrats
is not desirable," to say the least, is a
gross pervertion of what he did say. It
is a malicious and dishonest distortion
to twist an object to have the party
"absorbed" or "disintregated" into
, meaning a hostility to an honorable al
liance with a party or parties that are
agreed upon certain principles. Is it not
a cheeky and unwarranted assumption
of authority for one man or set of men
to declare an abandonment of free silver?
The battle for free silver is still on and
they who basely desert the cause, how
ever plausible the pretext may be, must
be considered as an pnemy. The popu
lists of the west brook no dictation from
the east, especially when it is in the in
terest of the money power. Wahoo New

That Kansas City Meeting.
F. Kehler, editor Galveston (Tex.) In
dependent: "Count on roe to attend the
meeting at Kansas City. I am tired of
the bulldozing tactics of the "gang." In
a subsequent letter he says: "Van der
Voort not being a publisher or editor of
a paper has no earthly business in the
N. R. P. A. He has no power to suspend
anybody. Van der Voort has been 111
Texas very often and.if ray observations
are not wrong he has formulated some
kind of a secret organization or league
here in this state for the purpose of car
rying the populists into the republican
ranks. We have had too much of these
political pirates of late years and I hope
we can counteract their villninous
schemes. I will open up on them in the
near future from this end of the line. I
am in for Kansas City . I believe the
Memphis meeting will be 'stocked' with

A call for a populist national confer
ence has been written by Secretary
Edgerton, of the national committee, to
be held at Kansas City, Feb. 23, 1897,
and forwarded to Chairman Butler urg
ing him to issue tho same. This is in
line with the suggestions of National
Comtnitteman Washburn, of Massachu
setts, and has the approval of many
other leading members of the party.
The American Reform Press Association
has been called to convene at the same
death and place. We think much good
can be accomplished at such a confer
ence. Custer County Beacon.
J. A. Edgerton,' secretary of the na
tional committee of the people's party,
penned a good thing recently when he
wrote this paragraph as a part of his
reply to Washburn:
You ask me, then, "What is to be the
distinctive mission of the peoples party?"
This: To push the fight, as in the past,
on all its principles, only with more
vigor than ever before. For free silver;
for a supplemental issue of paper money
direct from the government, lor the gov
ernment ownership of railroads and tel
egraphs fand direct legislation. Let the
work of education proceed on all thesp,
abandoning nothing, changing no issue,
but standing firmly upon the platform
made at Omaha and renewed at St.
Louis." He might have put considerable more
emphasis on the land question, but he
outlined a mighty good policy for the
peoples party when he declared that the
Omaha platform every word of it and
all of it is the proper guide for the fu
ture. Let every populist stand up for
that platform not today alone, but all
days and there can be 110 question
about grand and progressive results in
the days to come. North Platte Era.
No cause struggling for liberty has
ever existed that has not had its Valley
Forge. There have been times in all
movements when weak hearts and timid
natures abandoned the brave men in the
field and to the latter was due the
glory of the victory achieved. Wash
ington retreated from New York City in
the second year of the revolution with
the victorious British pressing forward
on the north and south of him to cut off
his retreat, with Indian savages to the
west of him iu the pay of the English
government and led by English officers.
And history tells us who it was that
then deserted his cause, and of the thou
sands who became inactive from a loss
of confidence in the ultimate triumph of
that cause. That army of patriots fin
ally returned victorious to the scenes of
their former discomfiture. We are now
in a sense in retreat before the same vic-
toriounJEnglish and their tory allies in
the United States, but we will return and
will yet see our Yorktown. Patriot's

A. Roselle, secretary of the reform Press
Association, has issued an address call-
ing for a meeting of the people's party
editors in Kansas City, Mo.. on February
22d. J. A. Edgerton, secretary of the
populist national committer has sug
gested that a conference of populists be
held at the same place on the day fol
lowing. This getting together of the
populist editors means much to the
future upbuilding and onward march of
populists toward capturing the govern
ment at Washington in 1900. Kearney

That Prosperity Wave.
We rise now to put the main question
Just how we should act and behave
When we're completely submerged Vby
the waters ,'.
Of that prosperity wave. . .
It was printed and spread o'er the
country
Told the freeman the white and black
slave
That McKinley's triumphant election
Would our country both honor and
save.
So wide, was to be its diffusion
All our shores with a blessing 'twould
leave.
Now the people have a right to demand
t,
And this right they never will waive.
Yes, and Mack, it is claimed, was elected
. (To be sure a plaguy close shave)
Just the same we hoped (not expected)
A ride on the newly made wave.
But the banks it seems are still breaking,
And depositors are all on the rave,
While many of the "honest" bankers
Are seeking the suicides grave,
And money is a mighty sight scarcer,
"Indade sor we really belave"
And business throughout the whole
country '
Continues to totter and cave.
Their "confidence" "barl" is all busted,
It's no longer convex and concave,
About all that's now left of the humbug
Are the hoops, the bung and a stave.
Mark Hanna, like robber and pirate
The heinuous old villain and knave
He lied like the devil in sheol,
McKinley to bolster and save.
From utter defeat and disaster,
He promised, he plead and he gave
Many millions of illgotten money
To hire corrupt and deprav.
The voters, the rabble and suckers,
And whoever might happen to crave
A bowl or a spoonful of old party soup
Old Hanna's more devilish than
brave.
So now the poor dupes are all looking
As it were in the gloom of a cave
For a siizn of exoected salvation.
But they see not a sign of the "wave."

Scriptural Politics.
"Whoever is charged with the care of
others, ought to be firmly convinced
that he is designed for inferiors and not
inferiors for him."
To be able to speak the truth without
prejudice is a virtue beyond price; but
the prestige to De attained Dy aissemo
ling in social, religious, or political mat
ters could not work otherwise than to
brinur that Quality to a premium and
candor to a discount. Under present
circumstances it is not at all surprising
to find the majority proficient in falacy
Although one's conscience does not re
prove him, he is not thereby justified, for
none are mfalible in dmcerningtnetrutn
Iu this article, however, we propose to
submit as evidence that which is con
ceded "by twenty and one-half millions of
people to be the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but truth, viz.: The Chris
tian Bible.
In the late campaign the measure to
abolmh the national bank and loan the
government money direct to the people
is the most Christian plank ever used in
the construction of a political platform.
Yt t it was repudiated by a majority of
nearly one million people in a nation of
boasteil Christianity.
We will, by way of digression, answer
a question that has been asked us a
number or tunes, in tne way wuicu ap
pears to us to be right. "In what man
ner will the government procure the
monev necessary to prevent a contrac
tion of the currency equal to the amount
of bank notes cancelled?" Answer: The
government shall issue circulating notes
to the amount of the assessed value of
real estate over which the government
has jurisdiction. Said notes to beloaned
by the government direct to the people
at a low rate of interest upon real estate
and on personal property where said
personal propertv is secured by an insur
ance policy tqual to or possibly greater
than the amount 01 the loan.
This, also, has been asked: "What
would be the consequence if the obliga
tion on real estate could not be dis
charged?" Answer: In that event the
estate would become government land
If our currency was based on the assessed
value of the real estate of the govern
ment there would be no danger of inflat
ing the currency sufficiently to impair
the "credit of the nation. Interest un
der these conditions would simply be a
tax to be used to defray the expenses of
the government, thereby securing actual
reduction of taxes. This is our idea
concerning these matters, and by these
means have we secured the approval of
several gentlemen who were otherwise
opposed to the "government going into
the banking business." Will some one
who is considered authority on this sub
ject please inform ns bow nearly we are
correct.
A thorough knowledge of the intrica
cies 0 our present monetary system is
well: a knowledge of our system of usury
is absolutely essential to an intelligent
suffrHgein present politics. There are
such a vast number of works from which
this knowledge may be obtained that it
is unnecessary for us to occupy space in
au attempt to make it clear, so we will
proceed to show forth our authority
that the scriptures demand the abolition
of the national bank.
In the first place it is necessary to un
derstand what usury is. Webster tells
us that usury is, first, a premium or in
terest paid, or stipulated to be paid, for
a loan as of money, interest; second, the
practice of taking interest. The third
definition is a modern corruption of
Webster s, and is the taking of interest
above that which is legal. In the Bible
dictionary we find "that usury signifies
interest. Hut we need not resort to dic
tionaries, for the Bible itself gives the
signification of usury as increase, which
is the original meaning of the term.
Lev. 25, 35-37 And if thy brother be
waxen poor and fallen in decay with thee
then thou shalt relieve him; yea, though
he be a stranger or a sojourner, that he
may live with thee. Take thou no usury
of him or increase; but fear thy God,
that thy brother may live with thee.
Thou shalt not give him thy money up
on usury nor lend him thy victuals for
interest.
Of a truth, Moses and Moses' God were
right in line with these modern anar
chists. '
Exodus 22, 25 If thou lend money to
any of my people that is poor by thee,
thou shalt not be to him as an usurer,
neither shalt tbou lay upon him usury.
This is a command and appeals to us
as individuals as closely as any of the
orthodox ten.
Ezekiel 18, 8-9-13-He that hath not
given forth upon interest, neither hath
taken any increase, that bath withdrawn
his hand from inquity, hath executed
true judgment between man and man,
hath walked in my statutes, and hath
kept my judgments; to deal truly, he is
just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord
(iod. Lie that hath given forth upon
usury and hath taken increase, shall he
then live? He shall not live; he hath
done all these abominations; be shall
surely die, his blood shall be upon him.
Deut. 24, J a Thon shalt not lend
upon usury to tby brother: usury of
money, usury of victuals, usury of any
thing that is lent upon usury.
1 be position of the Chicago nominee
was and is identically the same in which
the Prophet Nebemiah found himself
2,305 years before this man was born.
Neb. 5-7, 10 Then I counselled with
myself and I rebuked the nobles and the
1 .j : j i. .1 yt 1.
ruieid, uuu nam uuiu mem; ib exact
usury, everyone of his brother; and 1
Bet a great assembly against them; 1
likewise and my brethren and my ser
vants might exact of them money and
corn. I pray you let us leave off this
usury.
Verily, Nebemiah was an anarchist
equaled only by Mr. Bryan himself. Jer
emiah evidently thought he would have
merited the abuse heaped upon him if he
bad been mean enough to have either
given or taken in usury.
Jeremiah 5, 10 Woe is me, my moth
er, that thou hast borne me a man of
strife and a man of contention to the
whole earth. I have neither lent on
usury, nor men have lent. to me on usury,
yet everyone of them doth curse me.
Isaiah tells us that "the giver of usury
is equally guilty with the taker." 24,2.
It is shocking how very many o these
holy men of bod were anarchists.
Ezekiel 22, 12-14 In thee have they
taken gifts to shed blood. Thou hast
taken usury and increase, and thou hast
greedily gained off thy neighbors by ex
tortion, and bast forgo 1 1 n .Me. sajth
the Lord God. Behold, therefore, I have
smitten my hand at thy dishonest gaiu
which thou hast made, and at thy blood
which hast been iu the midst of thee; can
thine heart endure, or can thine hands be
strong in the days that I shall deal with
thee? I, the Lord. have spoken it and
will do it.
To clearly understand Ezekiel we must
know that in those days the lender was
only entitled to the bare return of the
loan, no matter what the thing loaned
might be. The relation between the
parties being Regarded as that of mutu
ally helpful brethren. Any iiicreane on a
loan was termed exaction o extortion
because it was unlawful to require more
returned than was given.
We have seen the fate that the Old
Testameut waiters say awaits those who
lend for increase. And as bur adversar
ies will doubtless claim that the condi
tions imposed are not binding at the
present time, we will transfer our argu
ments to the uew dispensation.
All who are conversant with the Bible
or scriptural literature are perfectly
aware of the fact that Jeeus and his fol
lowers were ns one family, the rich en
joying no more of the benefits of his
wealth than the poor.
Acts 2, 44-46 And all that believed
were together, and had all things com
mon; and sold their possessions nnd
goods and parted them to all men as
every man had need.
' We find that the main accusation
against Jesus was that they found him
forbidding to give tribute to Caesar.
Luke 23, 2. Also in Math. 17,,25-26.
Jesus teaches that it is unlawful to exact
tribute from any one, especially the
people of a nation to exact from one
another increase in any form. The
Publicans came to Jesus and asked him
what they should do to better their con
dition. He replied (Luke 3, 14) "Exact
no more than is appointed you," which
we have seen was only the bare return of
the loan.
Matt.23, 25 Woe be unto you Scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites, lor ye make
clean the outside of the cup and of the
platter, but within they are full of extor
tion and excesses.
The Apostle Paul is very certain as to
the eternal abode of the extortioner. In
his first epistle to the Corinthians he
disposes of this class as follows:
Cor. 6, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetors,
nor drunkards, nor revllers, nor extor
tioners shall inherit the kingdom of God.
If this be true, we feel safe in predict
ing that very few of this generation will
share in that inheritance; all are usurers,
all are extortioners; and the worst fea
ture of it is there is no statute violated.
The Jews exacted usury, but they did it
in open violation of the law. We boast
of our civilization, our enlightenment,
and shudder at'the word heathen, yet
in all the statutes of ancient nations of
any repute we find a decree forbidding
the giving or taking of increase. The
strongest, the basic principle in the laws
of Lycurgus of Spurta, was the measure
making it a crime to loan anything upon
usury or for increase. For nine hundred
years Sparta strictly adhered to this
law and was a most prosperous nation.
At the end of that tim covetous persons
In nigh places planted tha canker usury,
and the deeper it rooted the faMer be
came the concentration of wealth, and
before she realized it proud and once
prosperous Sparta was doomed. Con
centration of wealth, which can only be
brought about by some system of usury,
has caused the downfall of every nation
overthrown in the past, and will in the
luturs bring ruin to any government
that tolerates a law to turn all men
loose to prey upon each other and de
vour whom they can, making it impos
sible for a man in any kind of business
to do unto others as be would have oth
ers do to him and succeed in business.
We all know that Bacon never uttered
a truth more profound than when he
said: "Usury bringeth the treasure of a
realm or state into a few bands,"yet the
maturity 01 tne people will, through
selfishness, hug that viper usury fondly
to their bosom, hoping by some "presto
change" affair that each will be the fav
ored one into whose hand the treasure
will fall.
To abolish the national bank and loan
government money direct to the people
will strip the power from money to op
press. Those who are at present living
in splendor upon an income derived from
money loaned to the people, thereby
compelling the debtor to not only sup
port himself and fapriily, but his creditor
and family e- well, will be compelled to
loan his money at a lawful rate or invest
it in some industry that will not only
support himself, but give employment to
others, also, in this manner putting his
money to the use for which it was in
tendedto make of this nation a wealthy
people, instead of to make a iew wealthy
people in this nation.
Every man or woman who holds the
welfare of the majority dearer than self
desires that which will be most beneficial
to those who are in the greatest need of
it, and it requires no brilliancy of intel
lect to determine whom the "dear dol
lar," "the dollar that will buy more of
everything now than it ever did before,"
is most beneficial. Does the producer
propose to buy raor. than he sells?
Certainly not when he must sell what he
produces to pay for that which he buys.
If, as admitted by all parties, the free
and unlimited coinage of silver would
advance the price of everything propor
tionately, would not the producer be
thereby benefitted? He must Bell more
than he buys or be forever going deeper
and deeper in debt. Give the producer a
fair price for the product of his farm and
be can pay his "store bill" and have a
goodly remainder left.
The government must have control of
our circulating medium, absolute con
trol, or the people be forced to any meas
ure through a contraction of the cur
rency by those persons who are in con
trol. As long as money is itself worth
more than anything in which money can
be invested, just so long will capital ex
tort from the toiler his all, even to his
life. "For you do take a man's life when
you do take that which sustains his
life." There is no way in which the
money lender can be prevented from
robbing the people by extortion save by
the government creating a means where
by the people may procure money at a
fixed rate. If, when this blessing is be
stowed upon the people, the usurer, ex
tortioner, and those who lend for in
crease, feel that tbey can no longer
abide with us, may they find a haven of
rest with those beyond the sea. Then
we will lift up our voices in gladness and
chorus with Isaiah, "Let mine outcasts
dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a covert
to them from the face of the spoiler, for
the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler
ceaseth: the oppressors are consumed
out of the land. Isaiah 16, 4.

A Soldier,
From the Sentinel, Cherokee, Kan.
J. M. Baird, a Union war veteran, and
commander of Shiloh Post No. 56, G. A.
R., Cherokee, Kansas, made the follow
ing statement to a reporter on August
31st, 1896:
"For about three years I have suffered
intensely from rheumatism, and during
that time have tried various remedies
and was treated by several able physi
cians, but without result. I passed
many a long, weary night without clos
iug my eyes in sleep, so great was the
pain in my arms and hands. Last
spring Itev. J. B. Wiles advised me to
try Pink Pills, as he said they had cured
a bad case of rheumatism for him and
some of bU relatives. I was so impressed
with. Mr. Wiles' enthusiastic praise of
Pink Pills that I decided to try a box,
and the rexult is all that the most ex
acting could wish, for before I had taken
two boxes of the pills I was completely
cured, and I feel better now than I have
for several years.
"My wife," continued Mr. Baird, "was
badly afflicted with neuralgia in the
breast with frequent smothering spells.
One box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ef
fected a radical cure in her case. I at
tribute my cure and that of my wife
solely to Pink Pills, and have no hesi
tancy in recommending them to the
afflicted."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain, in a
condensed form, all the elemeuts neces
sary to give new life and ricbnees to the
blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are an unfailing specific for such
diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neu
ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache,
the after effect of la grippe, palpitation
of the heart, pale and sallow complex
ions, all forms of weakness either in
male or female. Pink Pills are sold by
all dealers, or will be sent post-paid on
receipt of price, 5C cents per box or six
boxes for $2.50 (they are never sold in
bulk or by the 100) by addressing Dr.

in brineing in immigration to increase
the value of this land, at once sell out at
an advanced price and escape their share
of taxation while deriving all the bene
fit. But the real farmers of the state
who have created nearly all its waalth,
as well as untold millions stolen from us
by corporations in defiance of law, who
will continue to "stand upfor Nebraska"
by tilling her fertile prairies and agitat
ing needed reforms until she is the fair
est, purest gem in the galaxy of states,
will have the last straw heaped onto our
burdened backs which we will ever allow
corporation hirelings to put upon us.
We will not only have tho $350,000 to
raise by selling 8-cent corn but, if the
scheme succeeds, to raise the asserted
value of our farms while not adding
anything to its productiveness thus in
creasing our taxation for all time to
come as past and present legislatures
always aim to tax us all and some more
than the percentage of value which the
constitution allows, it will take a much
larger proportion of our crop than now
to pay our tax.
True, politicians who think they may
have a portion of the said tax to squan
der in some way favor anything which
tends to increase it but let them; know
that the farmers are watching them and
are in no mood to be taxed for display
of any sort while notable to provide
any of the luxuries of life for themselves
and children.
Let those who will benefit by the big
show, pay all the expenses. If it succeeds
in its object of raisinir the price of land
many farmers will be forced to lose t heir
farms and all will suffer enough without
this added tax.

meeting of State Alliance:
Resolved, that we urge our legislature
to appoint committee to confer with the
legislatures of the other states in the
line of the co-operative railroad to the
Gulf; and use their utmost endeavors to
aid in the construction; as we believe the
money thus spent will result in the
greatest possible benefit to all the farm
ers, and laborers of our state.
Resolved, that we request the legisla
ture of the state of Nebraska, to pass a
law giving to the people of the state the
benefit of the initiative referendum and

Why Don't Yon Laugh.
By Jamea Courtney Challls.
Why don't you laugh, young man, when
troubles come,
Instead of sitting 'round so sour and
glum?
You cannot have all play,
And sunshine every day;
When troubles come, I say, why don't
you laugh?
Why don't you laugh? "'Twill ever help
to soothe
The aches and pains. No road in life is
smooth; There's many an unseen bump,
And many a hidden stump
O'er which you'll have to jump. Why
don't you laugh?
Why don't you laugh? Don't let your
spirits wilt,
Don't sit and cry because the milk
you've spilt;
If you would mend it, now,
Pray let me tell you how:
Just milk another cow! Why don't you
laugh?
Why don't you laugh, and make us all
laugh, too, .
And keep us mortals all from getting
blue?
A laugh will always win;
If you can't laugh, just grin
Come on, let's all join inl Why don't
you laugh? New York Independent.
